Trangie's truck wash has had a makeover, resulting in a more efficient method for local truckies to keep their rigs clean.

Livestock carrier, Paul Milgate from Paul Milgate Transport at Trangie said the improved truck wash facility has made life a whole lot easier.

The upgraded facility, located near the Graincorp silo site was designed following extensive consultation with truck operators and industry organisations to meet the high standards required by the agricultural and freight sectors.

"It's partly a biosecurity thing." Mr Milgate said. "We use it a lot. Sheep and cattle come in and out of this area all the time, from Queensland, WA and Victoria, and it’s important to keep the trucks clean. A lot of sheep go down to Tamworth to the abattoir. We wash the crates and the trailers regularly to get rid of the manure and mess."

Member for Dubbo and Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Dugald Saunders MP, highlighted that the upgrade is fantastic news for the agricultural and freight industries.

“Truck washes are essential not only for safe and clean travel for livestock but also for reducing the spread of weeds and diseases across NSW,” Mr Saunders said.

“With freight movement expected to increase over the next 5-10 years, this state-of-the-art facility is crucial for improving outcomes and productivity within the sector."

Mr Milgate said the upgrade was very welcome and had made a huge difference to the efficiency of his operation. Improvements include realignment and modification to accommodate road trains and B Doubles, a new sloping wash pad to allow sediment to freely flow out of crates as well as superior water pressure ensuring maximum power to wash out dirty crates and truck bodies.

"Before we only had a flat slab and hoses without good pressure. Now it's bigger and better and the water pressure has really improved," Mr Milgate said. "It does a much better job than before."

Narromine Shire Council Mayor, Clr Craig Davies said that this modern system will streamline the process of decontaminating trailers between loads, enhancing both cleanliness and efficiency for contractors, casual haulers or livestock producers.

“The unique geographic position of the Narromine Shire guarantees this necessary upgrade to meet the growing demands of livestock and freight carriers,” Mr Davies said.

"Council is thrilled to have a project that supports a vital part of the freight sector. Such investments are crucial for ensuring our communities have the infrastructure needed to thrive."

The Trangie Truck Wash is located off Saleyards Road, and is now fully operational and can be accessed by members of the trucking industry who possess an Avdata key.

An Avdata key is an electronic touch-key enables drivers to access truck washes, tracking usage which is billed to a registered account holder.
